Saw some of the game on PLUS. Wasn't sure who the heck I was watching! I know I will need my Program WED night to know who I am looking at but very nice start.

One of the more impressive things last night as well was that we got up 20 and didn’t let it get down to single digits. Something that hasn’t always happened in the past.

Also saw a tweet that UD was the only road team in the country last night to win by 20+.

spot on -like the potential esp. without the 3 missing guys- I figure Moss to be a key backup if he can ever get healthy. loved the dynamite start to the game- concerned about Houser and foul trouble(5), TOs(14)- a few too many but it's early in the season, and not sure yet about Lane or Trent. We do have mucho speed!
If MI can perform his magic we'll be in the running for a fine season.
Keep the faith kick butt go Hens

After watching the game last night, here are my thoughts:
1) Are we any good? I don't know but I am definitely optimistic
2) Is Bucknell any good? I don't know but I am the opposite of optimistic
3) The new guys all bring something different to the table and collectively they are a massive upgrade compared to the group who left last year.
4) As we all know too well, our Hens have been terrible at protecting big leads but that's exactly what they did last night as that game was never in doubt.

Kudos to Martin and staff for the new group they brought in this year. Coupled with an improved Reilly and Davis, the season is looking up.

Some of us knew it was coming, but Rielly has been the part. Doesn’t shoot off the dribble like him, but that stroke has so much Nate Darling in it. So fun to root for. The voices in my head about him getting too much attention where he’ll jump in the portal needs to stop. Telling myself to enjoy the moment and hope for a conference tournament win
